Eine Wiederentdeckung: Waldrop, 1935 in Franken geboren, gründete mit ihrem Mann, dem Dichter und Übersetzer Keith Waldrop, einen der bedeutendsten Lyrikverlage der USA. Ihr Roman steht in der Tradition experimenteller Gedichte.
Rosa Alcalá curates poems in which the body plays a central role as a performing presence. She selects and shares Roberto Tejada’s exploration of control and surrender (“Sun bursting as in water beads”), Rosmarie and Keith Waldrop’s stereophonic collaborative poem (“Light Travels”), and Black Took Collective’s daring, experimental performance piece on race and racism (“Betraying Blackness”). Alcalá concludes by reading her poem “You in Cutoffs,” which looks back at the self in the past, a body lifted above a crowd.Watch the full recordings of Roberto Tejada, Keith and Rosmarie Waldrop, and Black Took Collective on Voca:Roberto Tejada (2013)Keith and Rosmarie Waldrop (2011)Black Took Collective (2012)You can also watch several readings by Rosa Alcalá on Voca, including her most recent from 2020.

Set in Spain in the late 70s, Gabrielle's debut novel, THE SLEEPING WORLD, represents something deeply personal to her. She tells James about writing through grief, how the novel grew from a short story inspired by a song, as well as world building, dirt, and 'the spaghetti mind.' Plus Janet Geddis, the owner of Avid Bookshop in Athens, GA, shares exciting news and she and James geek out over upcoming fall titles.

Poeten Rosmarie Waldrop föddes i Tyskland 1935, upplevde kriget, men gifte sig med amerikanske Keith Waldrop och flyttade till USA i slutet av 50-talet. De båda driver tillsammans det lilla förlaget Burning Deck Press och de har något av kultstatus inom det amerikanska avant-gardet. De har två stora gamla tryckpressar i källaren i sitt hus, som bokstavligen är belamrat av böcker. Rosmarie har, förutom att hon skrivit 20-talet diktsamlingar, essäer och ett par romaner, också varit verksam som översättare och universitetslärare. I litterära kretsar är hon ett stort namn, något av en poeternas poet, och sedan ett par år tillbaka finns hon också översatt till svenska, med tre diktsamlingar utgivna i volymen ”Äpplets vana att falla”. Hon kan mycket väl vara en tänkbar nobelpristagare… Anneli Dufva fick möjlighet att komma hem till paret Waldrops hus i Providence, Rhode Island och rör sig i programmet mellan våningarna och böckerna både i huset och i Rosmaries liv. Som uppläsare i programmet hörs Gunilla Röör.
Selections from the five-volume set of recordings made at Brown University at the May 2001 celebration of (then) forty years of Burning Deck Press publishing of books, chapbooks and pamphlets, by, of course, Rosmarie and Keith Waldrop.
